"You call this feeble attempt revenge?"

"What the hell is all this commotion I'm hearing?" Commander Kyros's voice echoed through the chaos, and a small smile played on my lips. It seemed he had finally decided to join the fun.

'It's about time you showed up,' I thought to myself, my anticipation growing.

Kyros stood resolutely in front of his tent, which always occupied the center of the Draegonian camp. He was already clad in his formidable Draegonian armor, his Morgenstern weapon resting on the ground beside him as he scanned his surroundings with a calculating eye.

"And who are all these?" Kyros inquired, his gaze sweeping over the mercenaries emerging from their hidden positions.

The mercenaries wasted no time, launching attacks on the unsuspecting Draegonian warriors. I was poised to make my move when a particularly daring mercenary broke away from the group and sprinted directly toward Kyros.

Curiosity led me to pause, eager to witness how this foolhardy charge would unfold.

With his sword raised high and ready to strike, the mercenary closed in on Kyros. Surprisingly, Kyros made no attempt to evade the attack. Instead, as the mercenary came within striking range, Kyros seized his Morgenstern and performed a full-circle twirl, using the force of the spin to gather momentum.

At the peak of his spin, he delivered a devastating blow, the heavy weapon connecting squarely with the mercenary's face.

Wham!!!

The impact was thunderous, and I watched in awe as the mercenary's body was sent hurtling several miles through the air, his face shattered by the sheer force of the blow.

'Stupid,' I scoffed inwardly, shaking my head at the audacity of the mercenary's ill-fated charge.

Quickly, I retrieved a sword from one of the fallen Draegonians and tested its weight with a few swings.

"Lilith? Let's swap," I called out, and she promptly tossed my glowing sword in my direction.

With precise coordination, I threw the Draegonian sword I had picked and caught mine almost immediately, the familiar weight and feel of my weapon reassuring in my grip.

My gaze remained fixed on the sword for a few moments, its blade aglow with a mesmerizing amber aura swirling around it. Lilith had infused the weapon with a portion of her magical energy, charging it with an otherworldly power.

Armed with that, I began my deliberate march toward Kyros. With each step, anyone foolish enough to stand in my path met the merciless edge of my sword.

Slice!!!

The air was filled with the sound of steel meeting flesh. The magic on the blade made it easy to penetrate their hard scaled armor. Blood splatters painted the desert sands as the Draegonians fell, their futile attempts at defense no match for my assault.

Those who dared to attack from behind faced a cruel fate as well. I expertly wielded my fiery chains, using them to lash out at anyone who attempted a sneak attack. The chains coiled around them, constricting with brutal force, tearing through flesh and bone.

As I closed the distance between Kyros and me, I launched my glowing sword at him with precision.

However, Kyros was no ordinary opponent. He swiftly wielded his formidable Morgenstern, deflecting my sword with practiced ease. It landed in the desert sands with a muted sound.

Thud!

Kyros lifted his head, his eyes narrowing as he recognized me immediately. His tone took on a taunting, teasing quality as he inquired, "Well, well, look who we have here. What's the meaning of all this?"

I continued to advance, stopping mere inches from him. "Uhmm… revenge?" I responded with a wry tilt of my head.

Kyros scoffed, his confidence evident. "You call this feeble attempt revenge? And how come you're still alive?" he inquired.

"That's because you did a poor job killing me the last time," I replied, my words laced with taunt.

Kyros's eyes flared with a mix of irritation and determination. "Why don't I finish the job properly this time?" he threatened, removing his weapon from its slung position on his shoulder.

"I'd love to see you try," I retorted, a smirk tugging at my lips. "And let's see how feeble my attempt will be this time."

With a stretch of my hand, I willed my glowing sword back to me. Like metal drawn to a powerful magnet, the sword flipped through the air until the hilt landed securely in my hand, and I clamped my fingers around it.

We charged at each other with furious intensity, our weapons colliding in a resounding clash.

Clang!

Our weapons met with a thunderous crash, and we pressed against each other, our faces mere inches apart. Kyros's teeth were gritted in anger as he locked eyes with me, fury burning in his gaze.

"Shall we?" I taunted, a smirk playing on my lips.

As if on cue, we both propelled ourselves away with a single powerful leap, putting some distance between us.

We circled each other warily, our weapons crackling with potent energy. Then, in a synchronized move, we charged at each other once more.

Our weapons clashed again, sending showers of sparks into the air. I pushed with all my strength, attempting to swing my sword at his legs, but Kyros swiftly intercepted it with his weapon, parrying my attack skillfully.

As we locked blades, Kyros unleashed a burst of energy from his Morgenstern, creating a brilliant blue shockwave that emanated from the point of impact. The force of it sent me stumbling backward, leaving a small crater in the desert floor where I had stood.

I retaliated with a powerful swing, my sword crackling with Lilith's magic. A surge of amber energy burst from the blade, Kyros held his weapon in a defensive stance, reducing the effect of my slash. The impact created a blinding explosion of light, briefly obscuring our figures from view.

As the dust settled, Kyros unleashed another energy blast, this time aiming for my feet. I leaped into the air, narrowly avoiding the attack. The ground where the blast hit erupted in a violent explosion, sending a shockwave through the battlefield.

While mid air, I summoned my fiery chains, which burst into action, extending from my back like deadly serpents. With precision, I swung them toward him.
